I do not own the Avengers, X-men, Evie, or Wynter. Four months have gone by and Kassandra and Steve have grown even closer in that time. Steve has moved into one of the extra rooms Kassandra has in her apartment.
Kassandra bounces around her large kitchen as she bakes four sheets of her special Oreo chunk cookies in her four ovens (Tony found out how much she likes to bake and made her a kitchen to play to that love). She is singing along with her favorite band Brandon & Leah when Steve walks in on the scene. A bright smile spreads across his face as the tall, plump, pregnant demigod danced and sang around their kitchen. At the moment she placed the last tray of cookies on the counter her face scrunches in pain, she lets out a gasp, and grabs at her pregnant belly as she almost breaks the counter with her grip.
"KAS! What's wrong!?" Steve half yelled as he rushed around the counter to the woman he loved.
"I think the babies are comin'" she said through gritted teeth, "Call Dr. Kent, NOW!"
Steve rushes out of the room to call the doctor, within a few minutes Steve was back in the kitchen where Kassandra still hunched over grasping the counter. Steve had called the doctor and told him to rush over to the tower because Kassandra was sure she had gone into labor even though she was still a month away.
"JARVIS alert the rest of the team that Kas has gone into labor and we will be taking her to the medical floor we have because there is no time to get her to the hospital without putting her in danger" Steve ordered the A.I. as he carried Kassandra into the elevator and up to the medical floor.
"Yes sir" JARVIS replied.
As the doors opened Steve walked out with Kassandra still in his arms and he found Bruce already in the room getting everything set up. He set her down on the bed and realized she was in leggings and a T-Shirt rather than a dress or skirt like normal.
"Bruce can you leave I need to change" Kas said between contractions before Steve could tell him the same. As Bruce left the room Kas slipped off the bed and had Steve help into a purple gown. When she attempted to get back into the bed she doubled over in pain and Steve lifted her into the bed like she was light as a feather rather than pushing 150. The both Dr. Kent and Dr. Banner walked into the room as her contraction was ending.
"So my favorite superhero is having her babies early. How far apart are the contractions?" Dr. Kent asked as he checked to see how dilated she was. She was already nine centimeters which was surprising seeing as she had barely gone into labor an hour ago.
"They're a minute or so apart. How dilated is she Doc?" Steve asked as he placed himself next to Kassandra.
"Well I believe that your powers are causing your labor to progress quicker than a normal woman's; you are already nine centimeters and I believe that your water already broke" Kent said as the team exited the elevator and Kassandra had another contraction.
"AGHHHHHH!" Kas screamed as she squeezed Steve's hand. Every person in that room could see how much pain the powerful demigod was in and wished they could do something. For her to be in so much pain took them by surprise seeing as she didn't even cry when the bone in her thigh snapped.
"Kas you're having these babies right now! I need you to push at the next contraction. Guys I need you to go to other side of the room unless you are Steve, Bruce, Loki, Rachael, and Alexandra" the doctor ordered, "Bruce you're helping me, Steve, Loki you are holding Kassandra's hands and comforting her… you two are able to withstand her strengths, Rachael, and Alexandra I need you to get ice, cool rags, three blankets, and pull those three cribs over here."
The two girls began shuffling around the room and gathering what they needed. When they were coming back to the bed Kas screamed out in pain, crushed Loki and Steve's hands in hers and pushed. She had to push four more times before the first baby, Adrien, came into the room screaming and crying as Dr. Kent handed him to Bruce to examine and clean. Kassandra had a few minutes of rest before the next contraction came and it came with great force and she pushed. Alexander was the next to greet the world and ten minutes later Adara. When Adara was finally brought into the world three hours after Kassandra's labor began she laid her head back in a call for rest. Steve still holding her hand bent and kissed her forehead as he stroked her face with his free hand.
"You did good baby. I love you" Steve whispered to Kassandra. She slowly flicked open her eyes, gave him a grin, and pulled his face back to her lips kissing him. Kassandra turned her head as Bruce, Loki, and Rachael pushed the cribs over that held her beautiful children to her.
"So Kassandra what are you naming your beautiful babies?" Dr. Kent asked his patient.
"The first born boy is Adrien Ethan Ischyros, the second boy is Alexander Duston Ischyros, and my gorgeous baby girl is Adara Lily Ischyros. Thank you Doc for all you have done for me in these months that I've been pregnant and for takin' time out of your busy schedule to come to the tower. Thank you to all y'all for bein' here being here for me and for bein' willin' to support me and the kids" Kas said to the group in the room. Kas looked at her children and noticed the differences between the three. Adrien was the image of his father as a baby; he was dark skinned, chunky, dark eyes, and the subtle hint of black hair growing from his head. Alexander looked like both his parents; tanned skinned, hazel eyes, reddish black hair, chunky, and a round face. Adara was her mother in ever feature; tanned skin, emerald green eyes, blood red hair, chunky, long definite nose, and plump full lips. She sat up in the bed, removed the wires that were attached to her, and got out of bed to bless each child individually.
"Adrien Ethan Ischyros, eísai to paidí ti̱s Kassándras Afrodíti̱ Skopeftis-Eléf̱theros kai Dominick Jeffers Ischyros, engonós tou Lóki Afrodíti̱, o Días kai Agrona. Eíste proorízo̱ gia to megaleío kai tha kánei ti̱n oikogéneiá sas perí̱fanoi." Kassandra whispered a blessing to her first born son in Greek, "Alexander Duston Ischyros, eísai to paidí ti̱s Kassándras Afrodíti̱ skopeftis-Eléf̱theros kai Dominick Jeffers Ischyros , engonós tou Lóki Afrodíti̱, o Días kai Agrona. Eíste proorízo̱ gia to megaleío kai tha kánei ti̱n oikogéneiá sas perí̱fanoi" she whispered a second blessing to her second born, "Adara Lily Ischyros, eísai to paidí ti̱s Kassándras Afrodíti̱ skopeftis-Eléf̱theros kai Dominick Jeffers Ischyros , engonós tou Lóki Afrodíti̱, o Días kai Agrona. Eíste proorízo̱ gia to megaleío kai tha kánei ti̱n oikogéneiá sas perí̱fanoi" she finally finished her blessings with her daughter.
As she stood she looked around the room at all the people she worked with and had come to love. She knew her and her three newborns were in safe hands and they would never leave her if they had a choice. Steve walked over to Kassandra and put his arm around her waist as she stood by Adara's crib, Kas knew that Dom would be happy that she was with Steve now. He was a great man, strong, smart, loyal, caring, and would be a good father figure to her and Dominick's children. She felt at ease when he was around which wasn't a normal feeling for her the first few months after Dominick's death.
"If you'll excuse me for a moment, I need to call T.J. and tell him that the triplets are here and that he and Marshal need to make the move out here early" Kas said as she picked up her phone and went to the stairs.
"Hey sis what's up?" T.J. answered after three rings.
"I know it is halfway through football season and you weren't goin' to take the deal with the Giants until after the season was over but the triplets are here. I just had them and need you sooner." Kas said to her older brother.
"Sis I already made the deal with the Giants and Marshal and I are flying out tonight and Tony said Marshal and I's apartment will be ready in a month. We'll be there around midnight" T.J. told his foster sister.
"T.J. why didn't you tell me this? I'll send Steve to pick you up when y'all get here… I'm goin' to have my hands full with kids. I love you and see y'all tonight" Kas said as she hung up the phone and walked back onto the medical floor of her home.
"So what did he say?" Tony asked as if he didn't already know.
"Tony I'll kill you don't even try and act like you don't already know! T.J. and Marshal are flyin' in tonight at around midnight. Steve I'm goin' to need you to pick them up from the airport they don't know Happy" Kas said to the Tony and Steve.
Steve strolled over to Kas and kissed her on the cheek as he wrapped her in a hug. He could feel how tired she was but knew that she was truly happy. She had been blessed with beautiful healthy children, her foster brothers were coming to live with the Avengers so they could help her care for the triplets when she was at home and on missions, she had steady jobs that she loved, and a boyfriend that loved her and her children. Even the constant threat of Aeron attacking again did not cause her smile to fade even the slightest. They had talked about getting married before the babies were born but Kas decided that she wanted to wait until their first birthday in respect for Dominick. Today was a good day and the rest of their lives would follow suit even if they were fighting bad guys all the time.
"I love you Kas" Steve whispered in Kas' ear.
"I love you too Steve" she whispered back.
I hope y'all liked it! If you haven't done the math she had Adrien, Alexander, and Adara in December rather than January so it really is the middle of football season. Oh and T.J. played for the San Francisco 49ers and Marshal is about sixteen and T.J. is about twenty-eight. Please review!
